Does anyone know of plans to lower the reservoir below where there is evidence of water seepage in the dam?
A few new pictures are up ... 603 images now.
(shhhh - it’s a ‘secret’)

That would be 660ft... I am unaware of any news or discussion about doing that. I do know that California water customers of Oroville are anxious if Oroville is going to meet all of their commitments in water shares. Farmers need answers now due to decisions of sowing crops (irrigation availability). DWR has yet to fully commit to water shares in the state. The SacBee article below discusses the belief by some that Oroville's reservoir will be kept lower to give a "safety buffer" on inflow when spillway fix work begins in earnest.
